#Lightsabers

Didn’t Wim have a toy lightsaber in the first episode of Skeleton Crew? I think it was just a hilt instead of one of the expandable blade ones, but they do exist in (Disney) canon.

I wonder if that makes At Attin the only place left in the galaxy that makes toy lightsabers after Order 66.

i think those plastic toy lightsabers should exist in Star Wars canon

Ok I’m being so brave about it but a couple of days ago I saw this post claiming that the Jedi saying ‘this weapon [your lightsaber] is your life’ is emblematic of ‘the Jedi’s failure as peacekeepers’ (not an exact quote but pretty close) because why would a weapon be the life of a peacekeeper?

And like. The Jedi are a culture. They’re a religion.

You know that, right? You know that many cultures, including generally peaceful ones, have sacred weapons, right? You know that the bond between a Jedi and their crystal(s) is an extremely sacred thing that requires the consent of both parties and is integral to their way of life, right?

You know that lightsabers are not intended to be only for killing, right? That the first thing Luke learns to do with his lightsaber is to shield and defend? You know that a culture having sacred weapons doesn’t mean that they view killing as sacred, right?

Not trying to start shit, I don’t even remember who said it, but ugh

I feel that now, in light of certain things, is a good time to note that a red lightsaber is not in of itself proof of a sith

Jedi and sith are not the only Force cultures that use lightsabers, they're simply the most common, more than that, a red lightsaber is just a lightsaber with a corrupted crystal, not something unique to the sith, any dark sider can do that, as we see Dagan Gera do, actually he is in fact an example of what would probably be the most common example of a red lightsaber wielder in the pre-movies era, a fallen Jedi, someone who already had a lightsaber and corrupted its crystal after falling in order to symbolize their break from the Jedi

All of this is to say that the Jedi are not being foolish/arrogant/head in the sand/blind/etc if they don't automatically jump to "SITH!" upon encountering someone with a red lightsaber

it's an open secret that Obi-Wan Kenobi is Battlemaster Cin Drallig's illegitimate son, and that that's why Initiate Kenobi spends so much time training in the salles, trying to live up to that legacy (and relish that connection with his only known family member; besides, he really likes lightsaber training)

except somehow, Qui-Gon Jinn has missed this memo

when the man publicly lays into the child at the Initiate's Lightsaber exhibition for 'being too aggressive' and 'focusing on nothing of importance in favor of perfecting his lightsaber technique', Tahl is only the first of many Masters to privately pull him aside and try to smack some sense into him

and let's just say that he finds himself inexplicably at odds with the Battlemaster for the rest of his life

So some of y’all saw Luke throw away his lightsaber, defying the Emperor and Dark Side’s near-irresistible pull by preventing himself the means by which to realize that temptation, in a callback to Yoda and the cave’s warning that his final confrontation with Vader would attempt to twist every part of himself against himself, including his face, family, and yes, saber, and concluded that the lightsaber was the problem? Embarrassing fr

Osha bleeding a kyber crystal in The Acolyte – 1.08 (2024)

I've read lots of posts about jedi doing art but I was thinking... Jedi SPECIFIC art.

First Idea I had was lightsaber carving - like chainsaw carving irl, but the chainsaw is a lightsaber and the log is a big hunk of metal. It started as a way that you could connect with your kyber without sparring or other violence and evolved over jedi history to have its own complex artistic history.

The two genres of lightsaber scuplts are 'art led' and 'force led'. The first is a more traditional artistic process where the maker plans out the forms they want and uses their skill to enact them. The second is where a jedi can practice to sink into a deep enough moving meditation that the force itself guides their blade to reveal a truth inside the metal. The jedi don't see one as superior per-se but its context for appreciation of the art.

Like...

The most famous artistic process piece is from a jedi in the high republic era. They carved out an entire model of the galaxy as it had been mapped in 3d from a 7ft by 7ft metal cube. It took them years and they damn near re-invented the hyperspace lanes in the process. The piece is notable because if you stand at a couple of angles to look at the model, the fine metal holding up the planets, stars, and other phenomena almost completely disappear, leaving an illusion of a completely floating sculpture.

The highest regarded Force-driven piece is from the beginning of the republic. Modern scholars mostly agree on the big picture - that it represents the burning of the jedi order and the rebirth of hope after. Its creator, an elderly jedi master, known for intense force visions, created it in a 3 day trance, and he passed a mere month later. He never provided any insight as to the piece or what he might have seen, only that the art 'spoke for itself'. There has been an uncountable number of papers debating whether the sculpture was the old jedi processing the pain of witnessing a dark age of the jedi during his youth or whether its truly a vision taken form.
